Energy costs are at an all time high. Now is a perfect time to build your own solar panel. But isn't solar power an expensive start up? yes, yes it is.

But, you can build it yourself for much cheaper.

Try $100 per solar panel and $140 for a homemade wind turbine (with the guide I used). Now I suggest you try my solar panel calculator and don't forget this amount of solar panels is your ultimate solar energy goal.

Start small build your own solar panel or build two solar panels and build a homemade wind turbine. This will cost around $240 or $340 depending on if you build 1 or 2 solar panels. Then as you save money on your utility bill build another solar panel.

If you are trying to grasp about how much your solar home will run you and how much you will save begin by referring to your electric bill (It would be best to use the highest month). Write down your KWH for that month and how many days of service. Now find yourself on the map and decide what your watt hours per square meter. Now double that number since the graph is for only half of the average solar panel. Take those Three numbers and put them in the solar panel calculator
